This system includes a telephpne line seizure feature. The system may be programmed to communicate with a central monitoring
station to report system events. You will not be able to use your phone while the system is communicating with the central monitor-
ing station. In the unlikely event that the central station is not able to receive the report, your phone may be unavailable for up to 20
minutes while the panel makes additional communications attempts.

1.1 Understanding the DS7443, DS7445, and DS7447 Keypads
The DS7443 is a 6 zone LED keypad; its LEDs represent the zones of the system.
The DS7445 is an 8 zone LED keypad; its LEDs represent the zones of the system (LEDs for zones 7 and 8 are not used).
The DS7447 is an alpha-numeric LCD keypad.
All three keypads display information on various control panel functions. A built-in sounder is used to annunciate keystroke entries and as
an interior warning device.
Volume Control (DS7445 and DS7447 only): The keypad sounder volume can be adjusted using the [1] and [4] keys along with the [*] key.
Hold the [*] key while pressing the [1] key to increase the volume or the [4] key to decrease the volume. The volume adjustment does not
affect the volume during an alarm.
Backlight Control (DS7447 only): The display backlight intensity can be adjusted using the [3] and [6] keys along with the [*] key. Hold the
[*] key while pressing the [3] key to increase the brightness or the [6] key to decrease the brightness.
NOTE: After the backlight and volume are adjusted, you must arm, then disarm the system once to store this information in the control
panel. These settings will be lost in the event of total power failure to the panel.

1.2 Personal Identification Numbers
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is the 4-digit code users enter at the keypad to gain access to the system. A PIN may be assigned to
each User Number 001-015. The User Number identifies each person using the system. There are 15 possible User Numbers (001-015).
Your system may have up to 15 different PINs, each 4 digits long. Each User Number can have only one PIN. Attempting to assign the same
PIN to multiple User Numbers will result in the three-beep error tone, and the change will not be made.
User Number 001 is designated as a Master Code. It can be used to add, delete, read back, or change other PINs.
User Number 001 is shipped from the factory with the sequence of 1234. This code should be changed to one of your personal preference.
PINs should never be programmed with common sequences such as 1111 or 2468 because they are easily violated.
Adding a PIN
The following chart will guide you through the steps necessary to add or change a PIN. It is recommended that this procedure be performed at
a DS7447 keypad. No visual cues will be given from a DS7443 or DS7445 keypad.
Page 6

NOTE: Users 014 and 015 may be used for Duress and Guest Codes. See Sections 1.20 and 1.21.
NOTE: You cannot read back User PIN numbers. You should keep a separate list for future reference.
Removing a PIN
To remove a PIN enter a [Master Code] [#] [0], the User Number of the PIN to be canceled, and then [#] again. User Number 001 can not be
canceled. See Sections 1.20 and 1.21 for special uses for User Number 14 and 15 PINs.

1.5 Turning ON (arming) the System
The green Status light must be on steady and no zone lights are displayed on the DS7443 or DS7445 keypad. The DS7447 display must read
“ReadyTo Arm” in order to arm the system with one of these commands.
Exception: It is still possible to “Perimeter Arm” or “Custom Arm” the system if the Perimeter or Custom arm zones are in their normal condition,
even if the green Status light is off.
If the green Status light is not on, or zone lights are displayed on the DS7443 or DS7445 keypad, or if the DS7447's display is reading “Not
Ready,” then see Section 1.9 Force Arming or Section 1.11 Zone Bypass for other ways to arm the system.
NOTE: In commercial burglar applications for U. L. Listed Requirements, a ring-back indication and bell test should be heard after arming
(closing). If not heard, call for service.
NOTE: If the system has invisible zones that are not ready, they will be displayed during the arming sequence. The display of invisible zones
will remain on until the zone is cleared or bypassed.
The chart below explains the five normal ways of arming the system.
Page 10

Page 11

1.6 Quick Arming the System
If Quick Arming is not used, a PIN must be entered at the beginning of all arming command sequences. When Quick Arming is used, the
following shortcuts are available. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
1.7 Easy Exit
If the system is armed and there have been no zones violated, then you can reenter a Quick Arm Command without first disarming the system.
This allows you to change the arming level or to restart the exit delay so you can exit through an entry/exit zone. Easy Exit is disabled by default.
Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
1.8 Turning OFF (disarming) the System/Silencing Alarms
Please read Section 1.22 Emergency Procedures prior to being confronted with an emergency event.
If you have entered the building through a perimeter door, you may hear a steady pre-alert tone from the keypads. If so, disarm according to the
chart below.
Page 12

WARNING: If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed light is flashing, then the keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred
sometime before your arrival. The DS7447 will display “Zone Alarm.” The DS7443 or DS7445 zone LEDs will be flashing for the
corresponding zone that is in alarm.
•The keypad will also issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.
•If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’
personnel.
This chart explains proper procedures for disarming and/or silencing alarms.
Turning Off (disarming) the System under Duress
A duress code is used when someone demands, by threatening your life or well-being, that the system be turned off. When used, the code will
both turn off the system and report a silent duress alarm if connected to a monitoring service. User code 14 can be optionally configured as a
duress code. User code 14 will not arm the system, or report duress, if the system is not armed. Extreme care should be used when entering
your PIN to turn off the system, so a duress code is not inadvertently entered. User Code 14 is not a duress code by default. You must program
the control panel that User Code 14 is the duress code. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
Page 13

1.9 Force Arming
When one or more zones are faulted, the system may be Force Armed by bypassing the faulted zones. The green Status light will be off on all
keypads when Force Arming is required to arm the system. The DS7447 display will read “Not Ready” or “FireTrouble” (if a fire zone is open)
and the DS7443 and DS7445 zone LEDs (1-6) will be on if one of those zones is faulted. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
Force Arming during an AC power failure: Regular arming of the control panel is not permitted during an AC power failure. Having to Force Arm
serves as a warning that the control panel is operating under backup battery.
WARNING: Bypassing or Force Arming removes some of your building's protection because it excludes the faulted zones from arming. There-
fore, an intrusion may not be detected or the detection may be delayed. Always attempt to correct any zone problems (close doors
and windows, etc.) before using these features. If the problem can not be corrected, contact your installing company.
NOTE: See Section 1.11 Zone Bypass for an alternate method of arming the system when faults exist. Force arming is not available in
U. L. Listed systems.
Page 14

1.10 Auto Bypass
The system can be armed and will automatically bypass faulted zones. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
1.11 Zone Bypass
There may be occasions when it is desirable or necessary to temporarily bypass one or more zones prior to arming the system. Bypass
commands only work when the control panel is disarmed. For instance, an open window may cause the DS7447 display to read "Not Ready"
followed by the zone number. The DS7443 or DS7445 may have one of its zone LEDs on steady.
Onlyone zone may be bypassed each timethe command is used. If more thanone zone requires bypassing, repeate the commandfor each zone
to be bypassed.
NOTE: See Section 1.9 Force Arming for another method of zone bypassing.
Page 15

This chart explains the procedure for bypassing a faulted zone prior to arming the system.
* If in “Residential Mode” substitute the [#] key for the PIN.
NOTE: All bypasses are cleared when the system is disarmed, unless they are on 24-hour zones. To clear a bypass on a 24-hour zone, use
Clear Individual or Clear All.
Page 16

1.12 Chime Mode
Chime Mode causes the keypad sounders to beep each time a Perimeter or Entry/Exit zone is violated while the control panel is off (disarmed).
Only your installation company can determine which zones are chime zones. The [#] [7] command is used to both turn Chime Mode off and on.
This chart explains the procedure for turning ON and turning OFF Chime Mode.
* If in “Residential Mode” substitute the [#] key for the PIN.
1.13 Zone Test
TheZoneTest is used to confirm that detectors will report alarms. Zone Test works on all zones, except 24-hour zones and fire zones. While the
keypad is in Zone Test, no control panel alarms will activate an alarm, except 24-hour zone alarms and fire alarms. These will override the Zone
Test function.
Caution: Be sure not to activate 24 hour or fire zones during the zone test or an alarm signal will be sent.
TheZoneTest will initiate communicator reports only if both “System in Test Report” and “System in Test Restoral Report” are programmed. Ask
your installation company if you desire this feature.
Page 17

WARNING: Make sure that the report value programmed at these locations will be clearly understood at the Central Station. The “System in
Test Report” will be sent, followed by the alarm and restoral reports of the zones being tested, providing their corresponding report
address is programmed. After completion of the Zone Test, the “System in Test Restoral Report” will be sent. If these two reports
are misunderstood, then the zone alarms might be perceived as a real violation.
Page 18

1.14 Local Battery/SounderTest
This test uses the battery to manually activate all the system sounders for two seconds. If the battery voltage is low, a battery fault will occur.
Page 19

1.15 Communicator Test
This test is only available if your system transmits alarms and system information to a monitoring service, and has been programmed by the
security installing company to permit communicator tests. This test may only be used in the disarm mode.
A long beep will initially sound to acknowledge the start of the test. If the test is successful, the sounder will again issue one long beep. If the test
fails, the keypad sounder will beep three times and the Power LED will begin to flash, indicating a Control Trouble. The DS7447
keypad will display “Control Trouble Enter #87. When performing the #87 error display sequence, the DS7447 keypad will display “Control
Trouble Communication Err”. The DS7443 and DS7445 keypads will turn on the Zone 3 LED. See Section 1.19 “Error Displays”.
